So by automatic it is just going to push the wheat, but then you have to then go and replant the seeds every time... so its not full auto

Okay I have a design for hweat that uses minimal water but the dimensions have to be a multiple of 3 like 60x60 and if it has four stories, it yields I think 12800 wheat. I'd be glad to donate and build.

You make a 3x3 square and dig out the middle block and till the 8 surrounding blocks. Fill the center with water and the edges with seeds. Make a giant 60x60 square, with 400 holes. This makes a layer. Each 3x3 yields 8 wheat. There are 400 of these patterns so you will end up with 3200 wheat, assuming all plants are good. However, realistically it should yield h=harvest; 3000≤h≤3200 and you can make the water fall, platform to platform, so you only need a mod/op to place 400 water blocks. And 400/12800 is 1/32, so you need only 1 bucket of water to feed 32 pieces of wheat. Also make the platform spacing 2 to prevent greifers making you replow the whole thing by trampling it.

When I punch those numbers into my calculator it makes a happy face   :D

If you need a hand, I am more than willing to help.

I'm presuming (and from the sound of it) it's very similar to mine in design (behind the Pyramid at the /warp SouthWest)?

Anyways, if you do, just shout me up :)

Are the torches where the wheat goes?
